Charles' Church, destroyed by bombing in 1941. Despite efforts to have the remains demolished, it was instead dedicated to the civilian dead of the war - one service a year is held here in commemoration. The style of building erected behind it leaves much to be desired though! SX 482 546. © Graeme Harvey. Another view, © James Murray. James advises that there are rumours that it may be re-roofed.

The books are Pictures of Unitarian Churches by Emily Sharpe (1901) and the 1914 edition of Nonconformist Church Architecture by Ronald P. Jones M.A, (Oxon), and the images are reproduced by kind permission of James Barry of Unitarian Church Headquarters. My appreciation also to Mike Berrell for his efforts in this regard. SX 452  545.

St. Michael, on Albert Road, Stoke. SX 457 554. This one has previously been in the "Unknown" section. A clearly labelled postcard, from Judy Flynn's Collection, but where exactly was this Stoke? Simon Davies, Greg Mishevski, and Janet Gimber all identified it as the one at Stoke in Devonport. They have all also advised that, according to their website, it has been demolished, and replaced by a smaller church. See also here, which says the demolition was to happen soon - the page is dated February 2007. Judy Flynn has further advised that according to one source, the church was indeed demolished in 2007, and housing erected on the site; the new church, which opened in 2009, was built nearby on the site of the vicarage.
